Your Windows Experience Index rating!


Recommended Posts

I use XP, so my rating is Uber! I don't need no damn score to tell me whether or not I can play a game!

But when I did use Vista, 4.8 with my lowest being my Video Card. (Geforce 7600 GS 512MB)

I've been looking at some other scores and does anyone know why my 256 MB 7600GS scores only at 3.8, I've seen an x1300 have 4.3 and other lower end cards higher than that, I think it should at least score a 4.0. as noted above the new nvidia drivers for some reason brought down my score.

My 7600GT gets a 5.9, something has to be wrong with your drivers.

5.6

um 4GB of RAM DDR2 Ballistix @ 1.2GHz

8800GTX

QX6700 @ 3.2GHz

1.2TB of storage.

Thing is the Drive I have Windows on is only a 160GB 7,200RPM WD (SATAII) and that brought my score down to 5.6 even though I load all my games and applications off 2 raptors in RAID 0 lol so my system probably loads faster but that one lil drive brings my entire score down a few pegs. Everything else in the system gets a 5.9

I uninstalled Vista a little while back. The NVIDIA drivers for my 680i and 8800GTX were to unstable under Vista X64 so I went back to XP = no screenie.

Hi,

I was just wondering if when you get 2 graphics cards if vista improves your rating for having 2 in SLI mode.

Also i have seen lots of diffrent ratings for the same item eg: I have seen 5.8 for core 2 duo 2.4 and i have seen 5.9 for the same processer???

Whats going on there?

I have never seen a vista screenshot which says 2x(whatever your graphics card)

Probably due to whether or not the person is running the 32- or 64-bit version. When I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit, my processor went from 4.8 to 5.0.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
